I noticed something wrong with it and I had to re-upload. That is probably the cause of the problem.

Huh, I had no problems with it. That was great!

My least favorite part of the competition is the eliminations..
Next year I say NO ELIMINATIONS! everyone gets money!

THE GREATEST CAKE TO EVER EXIST EVER.

dude the cyclical nature of the phone joke was pretty freakin priceless. Wonderful take on the theme. This round IS gonna be hard ... as the two pieces are polar opposites.

great work to both of you.

Nice job elfman!

And looks like sandwich eater is cutting it awfully close!

Wow! That looks like a hard choice between the two on that end! Great job both of you!

Now Sandwich Eater, lets see yours. FACE ME! lol

30 Minutes Left...!!

You can probably tell by the... everything.

Anyway I loved yours elfman. The visuals are better and it's extremely funny!
I'll go take a look at lazymode's.

How hard was is to make the 4D tesseract? It confuses me just to look at it.

I traced that exact gif :P

That doesn't count as cheating, right?

But yeah it was still quite confusing. I basically drew the inner cube and the outer cube then connected them. I had to go back to fix a few frames.

I promise I'll get reviews for this round done by Sunday. Sorry about last round, work is gettin' a bit crazy.

As far as the last round's reviews go, I'll see if I can get them done next weekend. Sorry :<

The winners are in!

Yes congratulations and best of luck!

I'm lucky to have made it this far and it was fun while it lasted.

Dave Bruno and Lazy Mode Comics!

My predictions were correct!

But both Elfman and Sandwich made awesome submissions.

Congrats to everyone, you are all winners in my heart <3

The gap between Dave and I was smaller than expected :o
I also thought Elfy would've scored a bit higher.

I just emailed Nitwitt my reviews for Dave and Lazy.

Elf and Sandwich, I have your reviews written but because I'm so sleep deprived, they're mostly incoherent and useless.

HOWEVER, the common theme between yours both (and brace yourself, I'm being harsh here) is:

You have done nothing to take advantage of the medium of animation and honestly, these would have made better comics or live action skits. Because you don't have any interesting visuals or extreme poses or anything that only a cartoon could do, you would have been way better off getting yourself a bunch of actors and just shooting a video. Your framing/composition was mostly flat and boring, the character animation itself, while smoothed out, lacked any sort of energy or emotion (they literally just stand there talking as if they were strapped to a wooden board of some sort).

Now I'm not saying you're terrible at animation and that you should feel bad, but you need to do something that a camera can't do. That's what will make it a worthy animation.

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this trailer. Yes, I know what happens in it. Yes, I've seen this a billion times, but seeing Atlas getting crushed at the end never gets old because of how gnarly and visceral the animation in it is, and this could only ever have happened if it were an animation. That's what makes an animation worthy-- spectacular visuals that make rewatching it alone worth it, not some convoluted or complex script (because if I want to watch a sitcom, I'll watch a sitcom and not a cartoon)

[/rant]

Anyways, I'll try and get full reviews for you when I'm more coherent/get more sleep.

Me too, if I may be so blunt. You really stepped up your A Game here Sandwich, I hope to see you compete again next year! Its been a pleasure facing you ::bow::

Why didnt Zeurel review this round by the way?
